The Market Vaults

The Market Vaults is a public house built around 1800, with a mid-19th century addition on the left side. It is constructed of brick with a stucco addition and is designed in the Georgian style.

The building has three storeys and features an angled two-window range. The ground floor has a fascia above a plastered surface and a cornice at the top. The entrance, located at the right end, includes a doorcase with pilasters, an entablature, and an overlight above a half-glazed door. The ground floor windows are adorned with fluted pilasters, entablatures, and timber aprons, featuring two 16-pane sash windows and a 2:4:2-pane horned tripartite sash window on the right. The first floor has windows with flat arches above 16-pane sashes, while the second floor has similar windows, one with a 4/8-pane sash and the other blocked. The third floor has blocked windows, with a shuttered opening at the left end. The right return of the building includes a tripartite window on the ground floor, two 16-pane sashes on the first floor, two 4/8-pane sashes on the second floor, and two tripartite casements on the top floor. A sign displays chains, referencing the nearby Shire Hall's law courts.

The stucco addition on the left end features a rusticated ground floor and a cornice at the top. The ground floor has an entrance with a window in an opening with canted angles and a large rusticated flat arch, similar to the arch for the entrance on the left. The right side has a round-headed entrance with fluted pilasters, an entablature block, and an open pediment, with a fanlight featuring radial glazing bars above a six-flush-panel door. The upper floors have windows in architraves with 2:4:2-pane horned tripartite sashes, the first floor window having a moulded sill. The building also includes a large dormer and a cross-axial stack, while the rear features lateral stacks and low wings.
